The traditional point of a cover version, unless you're playing to a dancing crowd as a swingband, that is, is usually to adapt the song - thus to "make it your own" or present an interpretation. I have to say that I don't hear ANY of this in those Magna Carta "covers" anthologies. Transatlantic's take on Procol's "In Held 'Twas in I" is arguably the single worst and most embarrassing attempt at a "cover" I've ever been so unfortunate to stumble across.
